Priyank camp questions Chalavadi's Hindu identity
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|May 27, 2025
THE political spat between Leader of Opposition in the Council Chalavadi T Narayanaswamy and RDPR Minister Priyank Kharge is unlikely to die down soon, with their supporters taking up the cudgel on behalf of their leaders.
According to sources, while Narayanaswamy's aggressive statements, which have the backing of the RSS and certain BJP leaders, have been getting traction among Hindu groups, Kharge's supporters have been busy questioning his rival's religious identity.
Yuva AHINDA, a Kharge-aligned group on social media, cast doubts on Narayanaswamy's identity as a Hindu scheduled caste 'Chalavadi' leader.
